PROGRESSIVE MOVE '\ INOHIDG. 0.P. SEEN Liberal Leader Launches At- tack on Party “Bosses.” Assails Taft’s Son. Special Dispatch to The Star. { COLUMBUS, Ohio. September 29.— Conviction of republican leaders that Charles L. Knight, leader of the lib-{ eral wing of the party in Ohio, would swing into line with the regulars this Year received a shock this week. Mr. Kuight, owner and editor of the| Akron Beacon Journal and the Spring-; sield Sun, lau . vigorous attack on the party * charging them With attempting to suppress the more liberal provisions of the state con- stitation, which indicates that he is 0t definitely back on the party reser- vation. . Representative Robert Taft of Cin- cinnati, son of Chief Justice Taft, is the principal target for this attack, and the cause of it was a movement by Mr. Taft to save from referendum a law of which he was the author and Wwhich was intended to make it les difficult to raise the tax-rate limit, ¢nabling the cities to get out of fin “ial trouble. This attempt of the hosses” to withhold the referendum yrovision of the constitution, he de- e is wors than _anything at- winpted in Oklahoma. Some interpret this declaration as placing Mr. Knight | ad of an anti-high taxes} anization as a candidate for the republican non ation for governor. Interested in Row. There is evidently a disposition on | the part of the republican leaders in the state to have whatever difficuity there may be between Sec ary Me! Jon and Internal Revenue Commis- sloner Blair and Federal Prohibition ‘ommissioner Haynes adjusted., and AMr. Haynes retained at the head of that department, If he retires S yegarded as practically certain e will become a candidate for g0 ernor. If he is a candidate he will confuse the issues and make it very difficult for the party leaders to du anything to control the nomination. Mr. Haynes has the good will and the confidence of the drys here. Whatever Tl facts muy be, the Ohio drys believe | hat he is being interfered with by higher-up: as they refer to the in- flucnces that m to prevent even al 1air degree of enforcement of the pre Libition laws, and as a candidate for the nomination for governor he would draw | heavily from the dry element. The re- publican leaders here do not understand nature of the trouble between ynes and his superiors, but they are <ing an effort now to find out and to | zdjust it for the sake of the influence on Uliio polities the retirement of the pro- hibition enforcement officer might have. ome difficulty is seen ready in the distribution of the delegate-at-large honors in the republican national co vention of next year. Ohio will be en- titled under the apportionment to fifty delegates in the convention, forty-four of which will be elected by congressional districts and the other six at large. The new female element of the voting body aim the two additional delegates-at- large, and for these honors already Har- viet Taylor Upton and Mrs. James Gor- don Battelle are already lined up. Of course, the two senators will be selected i1s such delegates, but who shall get the Uther two places probably will have to be decided by a contest. But none of these local matters has { ¥ bearing on the support of the state | in the national convention for the presi- dency. The prevailing sentiment in the party here remains strong for President Coolidge. “ov. Donahey took advantage of the | asion of an interview in Cleveland | this week to make the statement that he would under no circumstances per- mit the use of his name in connection with the democratic presidential nomi- nation. No one here expected that he Would. The general expectation here 45 that former Gov. Cox will be a candi- Yate. J.H. GALBRAITH. PLOT TO CONTROL CHICAGO “L” SEEN Samuel Insull and W. G.

Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., September Whatever may have been accom- plished by James Pollard, chairman of the colored section of the repub- lican party in Virginia, in his visit to President Coolidge, is not known, and it is giving the regulars in the state absolutely no concern for the lack of in- terest on the part of the lily-white division of the party in this state, as Bascom Slemp, the private se retary to the President, is in a pos tion ‘to tell the President what is the exact situation in the Old Do- minion. Pollard and his organiza- tion kicked out of the party three ars ago, and at that time Mr. lemp was state chajiman. It remains to be seen whether the colored republicans will again seek to gain admittance to the councils of the party, but the flat issued once that if the colored voters desired to affiliate with the republican party they would be allowed to do 50 as individuals, that they would have to stand on the same footing as other members of the party, and that under no eircumstances would there be an fiort to make any concessions what- ever to them as a separate bloc. That is the attitude of the men who are in control of the party in Vir-| ginia today. It there is to be a solitary dissent- ing vote in the next state republican convention to the proposition to in- dorse President Coolidge, such a fact is not known, and not one man_has been seen who stands a chance of at- tending the convention as a delegate who_entertains an idea of opposition to instructing for Coolidge. There are few who are anti-Slemp, but they will not have any voice in' the con- vention and only the men who are for Coolldge will be accredited as delegates. While the time for nominating a candldate for Governor of Virginia is yet more than eighteen months away, and with one avowed candi- date ‘in the race. the confusion in connection with the matter is great. No one appears to know who wili enter the race, and of the several who have been mentioned not one of them, save Senator Mapp, will imake any statement. It is said by men high in the councils of the party that there will be only one candidate on the part of the organi- zation. That is heard on all sides and the possibilities seem to concur. 1z may be that there will be more than oue of the progressive type will ! seek the nomination and they will be free to do so. The organization has not indicated who will be it choice. All the members of Congress from | Virginia at this time are expected to offer to succeed themselves next year, the only opposition to any of them now being that of Senator M. 3. Booker of Halifax, who is to make the race against Representative J. Murray Hooker of the fifth district. Mr. Booker has been named in his county as the democratic candidate for the state senate and has-no op- position. He will contest with Mr. Hooker and will make a speaking campaign before the primary, pro- vided the fifth district breaks away | from its traditions and allows a vote of the people, conventions having been the rule in the past.

D, September 29.—One of the notable features of next year's campaign in South Da- kota will be the absence of the Farmers’ Non-Partisan League, While non-partisan league, after the votes were counted, always was found to be in a minority, it had leaders who were aggressive and worry to of republicans. .| For some weeks, non-partisan league and other anti- republican elements have been work- ing to unite the non-partisan league, | Hill made his campaign on govern- |the farmer-laborites and other anti- ment price-fixing for wheat, appeal- ing also on an issue of the election The result of the the farmers failed to rally to the Hill standard, they |standing in the republican ranks. The republican elements into one organi- zation. The mnkw organization will be known officially as the farmer- labor party and the name non-partisan league will disappear. A somewhat amusing phase of the amalgamation of these elements under the name of the farmer-labor party is the fact that thousands of voters whose votes the new party will seek to capture are neither farmers nor laborites. Large bodies of voters have held meetings at other points in the state and organized farmer-labor parties of their own, so that at the present time there are said to be three dis- tinet farmer-labor parties in South Dakota. It will be the task of the leaders of the movement to unite these into one organization. 1t is belleved by many republicans that it will be a difficult task, not only to unite the different farmer- labor parties of the state, but for the the movement to agree. Several of these leaders have in the feels | past been bitterly opposed to each other. ALFRED BURKHOLDER. leaders of the ! ILOUISIANA PARTY LEADERS TO MEET | tled at New Orleans Ses- sions This Week.
